THE APACHE PRISONERS.
To be Removed from Fort Marion to
More Comfortable Quarters.

The Secretary OF War has directed that the
Apache Indians who were moved from Arizona to
Fort Marion, Florida, last fall be removed to
Mount Vernon barracks, Alabama. The Indians
now at Fort Marion number about 49, and Ger
onimo and his bucks, who are confined at Fort
Pickens, Florida, number seventeen. The wives of

allowed to Join their bucks at Fort Pickens. Capt.
Pratt, superintendent Of the Indian school at Car
Isle, has gone to Fort Marion to select thirty or
forty young Indians to be instructed at the Indian
school, The removal OF the others viii. not be
made until after he has made the selections. There
has been no sickness at Fort Marion since the In
dians have been there, but their quarters were
crowded, and 1t was thought advisable
to remove them to healthier location
where they win have plenty OF room, and be free
about them every time they appear. The change
was recommended by Gen. Sheridan some time
ago. Their new home at Mount Vernon barracks
Is peculiarly well suited to them. 1t is situated
Mobile river, not great distance from Mobile, in
the midst OF a large pine forest. The govern
ment reservation, good deal OF which can be cul-
I1vated, consists OF 100 acres, nearly three miles
long by one mile wide. The barracks are occu-
pied by two COMPANIES Of artillery. The Indians

struct1on of the new building will be but small
part OF the work OF transformation, as considerable
time, care, and money Will be required to equip
the dnerent buildings with the necessary fOunda-

THE ARREST OF SCHNAEBEIES.
A Disposition in London to Discredit
the story.


Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April 22.-The story OF the arrest of
French cOmmissary Of police by the Germans,
after tnveigling him the line, is astounding
and should be received with the utmost caution.
Three weeks ago passed along the road where
the arrest was made, and recOllect accurately the
frontier point described There was then not the
slightest rumor OF war or unpleasantneSs in the
neghbOrhOod. Pagny is a typical quiet, little
French village. OF course, no responsible CORE
spondent or purveyor OF news is on the spot. The
Inhabitants OF these villages moreover know
little or nothing OF anything Of international sig
Dificance passing in their neighborhood. The
newspapers of Metz may, OF course, have sent cor
respondents to the spot TO investigate, but they
would not dare to publish syllable on the sub
ject which had not the sanction OF the German
police. 1t is incOnceivabie however, that 50
1agrant an outrage has been perpetrated other
wise than in error. 1t would constitute a deliber-
ately sought c0s4s belLi. Bismarck is not accuS-
toned to do his work in such a clumsy way.

Mr. Blaine in Chicago.

TAKING REST BEFORE HE STIRTS EAST.
James G. Blaine had a large number of callers
yesterday at the Grand Pacific Hotel, in Chicago,
but he was inaccessible save to few. He was
still so fatigued from his long journey from the
Indian Territory that he was disinclined to see
any one, but so many Of his friends importuned
him that he finally gave audience to few. A
committee from the Chicago Bankers Association
waited on him and invited him to attend the an-
nual banquet, but he declined on the plea that he
did not think he would be well enough. Mr.. Blaine
said he did not wish to Over-exert himself at pres
ent, as ne was quite weak from his travels, al
though he felt as well as could be expected.
'The truth OF the NATTER" said Mr.. Walker
Blaine, 'is that father is here to us boys and
rest for few days and after that he will continue
his journey East While here he will not accept
any invitations OF social nature, and will make
no more exerti0n than he Is actually Obliged to.
He will probably leave the city Saturday or Mon

sal is an alternative one.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April 22.-The alleged Parnell letter is
still the leading topic OF political conversation
what Parnell is doing is, as usual a mystery. No
one knows whether any further steps will be taken
on either side. 1t is, however, freely stated at
the house Of commons that, should Parneu and
his friends persist in their inaction the Orange
men and conservatives will move that a select
committee be appointed to thoroughly investigate
the whole affair. My applications to experts in
handwriting have not been a success There are
three leading ones in London. The first TO whom
applied had been retained by the Times so also
had the second The third declined to give pro-
fessional opinion without much larger amount OF
ParnelfS handwriting before him. Since my last
message have had an opportunity OF examining
upWar1 OF forty private ietter OF ParnellS mostly
written In his own hand.
PLAINLY A FORGERY.
With one unimportant exception, all the sigma
lures have seen, now nearly fifty, resemble one
another in every particular and differ from the
Times signature cOnspcuOusy In five important
points. There is really no need OF experts
opinion. l am obliged to add, however that the
publication OF the letter has done real damage TO
the home-rule cause. A number OF wavering
liberals have been thrown into CONSERVATION by it.
and not few have declared that they cannot sup
port Parnell until he has cOnclusvely dsproved its
authenticity.

Bringing the Railroads TO Time.
A DETERMINED EFFORT MAKING IN MICHIGAN TO RE-
DUCE THE FARES.

DETROIT, MICH, April 22.-The people and the
railroads are warning in Michigan over two cent
fares. The matter is now before the legislature.
In order to overcome the objection that two
cent rate would bankrupt the railroads, the joint
committee have adopted graduated scale, de-
pending oD the earnings OF the road. According to
the proposed plan all roads earning over $1,000 q
mile are to charge not more than two cents Roads
two and one-half cents. All other roads can charge
three cents This would cut but two roads to two
cents, viz: The Michigan Central s., JIG a mile
and the Lake Shore s. 050 mile. Five other roads
would be cut to 2a cents. The Michigan Central
claims IT holds charter which Will not permit the
State to reduce the passenger rate below two
cents. The matter will go to the courts for deter
mination ir the rates are lowered as proposed.
